Have you tried holding power and N for 30 secs then trying to power on ??
If its not battery dead you might have to factory rest
I have done that...still dead...
Sorry 'bout previous response, not up to speed on forum posting... I have left pluggedin overnight...no difference...
I will try the power n sequence suggestion and let y'all know what happened...
Thanks all for the help, appreciate your time and effort!
Waiting five minutes...before I can post this...

If that does not work then boot into CWM using the sdcard method and start from there. There are CWM backups and to restore 1.4.0 already rooted and with apps. Read my FAQ in the CWM issues section. Link in my signature.

OK, tried the power N, no success... Just want to be clear, the nook is completely dead. no screen life whatsoever... the power indicator on the power cord connection is green but when I try and power up nothing...absolutely black screen, no flicker nada, zero signs of life...will trying a sdcard solution help in that situation?
Thanks again for you time!!
Is your SD card still in? Have you tried taking it out of the nook and holding power for 3 seconds?
Edit: I realized that response seemed very odd. So, with or without the SD card in you should still be able to boot past the black N screen and get to the initial boot animation. I would suggest rather than just holding the power button for 3 seconds try just holding it and eventually it will, or should, actually boot to the initial screen.

I have the same problem with a nook tablet that I rooted for my brother. When I shut it down, it never powered back up. It is dead as a doornail. Very, very, very frustrating. I tried every key combination to try to get it to power up. Nothing works, Holding N+power for 30 secs didn't work. Holding vol down + power also didn't work. It's just dead. BN won't accept an exchange without a receipt. I can't believe this thing is dead after only a few weeks. I also tried charging it to full to a green light, still didn't work.
I have had a similar problem where the screen will not respond or turn on. Turned out to be the SD card. If I removed it, the tablet would respond right away. I now have a 32G San Disk and so far no problems.
Hi All, just wanted to circle back for an update... No change in situation, but have decided to give it a go with the warranty process, opted for the standard service with no CC info provided...figured with that route I couldn't be charged for the repair...worst case they won't fix it...Its dead to me now anyway.... will let y'all know whatsup when I hear from B&N or get the unit back...
thanks again for the comments and suggestions!
If you think a bootloader sucks, Just try the warranty process...
Just wanted to give an update, it had been over a week since I had sent the unit in; so I decided to give a ring and find out what's up... It seemed like I was the first person to ever do that, took forever to finally get an answer. I was informed that yes they had got it a week ago, but that it would take another week before the warehouse got to it...I should hear something then...
I have a annual BN Member Card, buy books there all the time, but I will never give them another penny of my money.... If only amazon put out something with and SD card slot...
Why is that such a hard spec?
Anyway, just wanted to give an update...
Best,
well hopefully it all works out

Hi - I'm using a Galaxy S3 right now and it's not powering on at all. Battery is guaranteed not empty as it has been on charge all morning. It's rooted and running SuperNexus - I9300 - BUILD 4.
I can't even get into download mode - tried powering on with volume keys held up and/or down along with home key and power key but no luck
I've called Samsung and they will take it away for warranty repair but my worry is if they know it's rooted - will they refuse to fix it?
I'm clutching at straws but has anyone got any other suggestions I could try?
I imagine you already tried this, but when it happened to me last, I simply took the battery out for a few and put it back in, then it fired up. Has only happened to me once though.

yeh it's been out for a few minutes. Maybe i should try it for a little while longer.
One thing I forgot to mention is that sometimes I would pick up the phone to look at something and the screen would be blank but the soft keys would be lit up. The only way to get the screen back was to keep the power button pressed down for 10 seconds or so so that it switched off and then back on.
This is what happened this time - but only this time it's refusing to come back on

There's a known issue with some devices having problems with this in here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1993044
But if your device was starting to have problems before... maybe it wasn't related to motherboard but something else, maybe even software related... But still, if the device is not powering at ALL you should be good with samsung, as they will just replace the motherboard and thats all (at least some ppl had it repaired even rooted and with CM installed on the thread I linked above.
Good luck and share your adventure with the SAT (if you finally send it there) on the other post
If your in the eu then rooting your phone won't affect the warranty. It's been confirmed a few times in the thread posted above. It sounds to me like another mother board failure.

Hi People of the world! As you can see im new to here so yeah i just might be in the wrong section...
So, I just got my shiny android a week ago, and know it sits on my desk, lifeless, like a brick. Like literally its dead! I don't know if I can fix it or the BIOS (if theres one in Samsung Galaxies) is fried, or maybe the motherboard is fried, or the battery overcharged, etc. But I just cant do anything! I'm totally out of ideas!
Heres the problem, I first rooted my android successfully, and played around with my android a while. But as you expect I just coudn't wait for the jelly bean update! So, I desided I would give a try to take the Russian firmware instead. That was already a bad idea, but I read on some threads that it would work fine, so I downloaded one from Sammobile.com. The real mistake? I downloaded the wrong phone. I own a Samsung Galaxy S Advance NFC Version;GT-I9070P The one I downloaded was UnNFC version; GT-I9070. Well, I didn't realize that, and proceeded with entering download mode and eventually flashing the PDA file from Sammobile with ODIN. So I pressed start. It started the process, and after 5 min it said in blue: RESET. I saw the phone rebooting. Now, another big mistake: I started touching the power button, which I shouldn't have done. Then, instead of waiting, as soon as seeing the thing wasnt booting, I took out the battery and unplugged the USB cable. Then after a while the PASS appeared in green. So it went successfully? NONONO Now it wont boot! More specifically, it wont TURN ON! like it wont whow any sign of life. As if it had no battery or USB.
Today I discovered, If I hold Vol UP+Power+Home when its connected to my PC, it makes the beep, shows that it failed to install the driver for "U8500 USB ROM" What the (*^&(&%*(&^&* is that??? Also, in 5 seconds, the device disappears, meaning that I must hold the button combo for another 20 seconds.
So, I've got no connectivity to ODIN, nor Kies, and I cant go into download mode, nor recovery mode.
Any Help?
Pleeaase if you can help youre a super god of androids!
ok, so if I understand correctly, You can't even turn on a phone - no samsung logo, no yellow triangle, nothing, right?

Exactly. Nothing at all.
The only evidence that its not fried is that the computer detects it as U8500 USB ROM for 5 seconds whenever i hold the power button or any combination. Nothing on the phone though.

Ikr its really bad to break your phone as soon as i get it. Worse, for me its a few of days to my birthday! Worse thing that could happen. I will PM you if i happen to find a good solution. Also, to make it really the worst thing, the GT-I9070 is one of the less popular phones (not like the s3). The NFC version? Even rarer! So not only are there not many developers working for that phone, not many people have really encountered problems with the phone at all.

Please help! I also bricked my Samsung S Advance I9070P after downgrading from JB to GB, since JB was updated for India I9070...but the phone bricked after downgrade. Everything was successful and it had auto-rebooted after the downgrade and stuck with Start up screen. When I removed battery and tried again..it bricked! No recovery mode, No download mode, no power on.

Did you have any vibration when Power + Vol Up??
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
Hold power key + Vol up for 30 seconds.. phone will vibrate 3 times..
then connect to flash tool nd flash valid kernel
Same as the people says here, you should flash a new kernel for your sola...the reason why your phone wont boot because the kernel is corrupted or invalid.....so you need to flash a kernel the only problem is that you need to charge your phone first.....

yes , thanks for that. but i already done an experimentation on the battery , but still no luck . I charge it almost 1H and 30min. because i found the polarity of the battery of xperia sola. ^ ^ the battery has a legend in the bottom of the wire. , so after that when i connect the original charger there is no light at all even the steady red meaning it's not in drain battery but still no vibration nothing happens. Maybe i will try and wait for 24H to reset/clear the bad memory of xperia sola. right?. hopefully. :crying: , please post other fix that i may try. please.
If you continue ,you might destroy the battery also......so better bring it to Sony centre........(but its still your decision)

So I was charging my phone, and it restarted itself and now it's stuck in a bootloop!
I can't access download mode or recovery, it keeps restarting before I have the opportunity to press any buttons (hardware or on screen) and removing the battery does nothing either, as soon as I put the battery back in, the phone resets without me even pushing the power button
I'm using Temasek CM11 v8 with the "201113-1248-cm11-i9300-r3p2-linux30101-BOEFFLA-temasek" kernel
Is it recoverable?
I've managed to get it into both Recover and Download mode briefly, but both times the phone restarted within a few seconds back to the bootloop
Sounds like the power button is shorted out, fairly cheap repair if so.

Thanks for the reply. What makes you think that it's the power button shorting?
Holding power button for 5 seconds acts as a hard reset, everywhere.
That's a good starting point actually. There's no reason for download mode to reboot automatically. If it loaded then it waits for the events. Either it works until you do anything with a PC, or doesn't work at all.
hi
try using a universal battery charger and then try again

Ah Well I suppose that makes it pretty conclusive. 2 hours later and it's still bootlooping... I'd take it apart but I don't really know what i'm looking for and I suspect if it's shorting, something will need replacing or soldering etc. Thanks very much

The issue of having it shortly resetting once reinstalled the battery sounds to me like a hardware failure, most probably hard resetting all the time.
A hardware repair should help fix this.

It's funny you say that, after hours and hours of trying to get my phone to work, somehow through more luck than judgement I managed to get it into recovery and flash WanamLite 7.2 (I figured it was the next best thing to stock, as I couldn't access download mode) and well... since then, touch wood my phone hasn't restarted itself even once... now granted in that time i've only touched the power button once, to turn on the device, but it seems like progress to me
So my question is, is it possible that I could of had a bad flash or something? It seems too coincidental to me, and I don't actually think the different ROMs have anything to do with the problem (that is still lingering beneath I suspect), but the optimist in me REALLY wants it to be fixed haha
EDIT: Oh and thank you tweetatoo for your reply

Interesting, thanks. It's just a bit confusing, it seems plausible because I flashed the ROM earlier in the day but at the same time, im not sure how much control the new ROM would have over the phone entering Download Mode... Mind boggling.
I'll keep an eye on it for a bit... and im still too scared to use the power button haha
Thanks very much
Download mode is entirely separate to the rom, I still think your power button shorted out (stuck down) as it's been reported many times before. If you have warranty then now would be the time to triangle away and return to stock for a while, just in case.
